Hi Pia,

Doing a Debian-based XS came up in one of the server meetings we had a
few months ago http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Conf_08_MAR_25_Notes. It
kinda came up here as well:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Conf_08_AUG_07_Meeting 

A Ubuntu-based XS would be great. We've talked about it at SF State and
a couple of other groups around here for reasons of familiarity and it
being Debian based, etc. I'd be curious to see what it would take to get
the XS on a Ubuntu or Debian base.

cheers,
Sameer
